The fortune left by Mr.. DePauw, the
great glass manufactures of Indiana,
is represented at $4,000, 900. There
wasn't, apparently, very much compe-
tition of the pauper labor of Europe in
Mr.. DePauw's way in this case. Yet
he threatened to leave, and we believe
once did leave, the Democratic party,
because it didn't show sufficient consid-
GRAFTON for his "infant industry" 1t
would be interesting to know how much
tax levied upon the purchasers of glass
in this country had to be collected to
make up these millions. Probably it
exceeded them in amount several times.

Venus and saturn.-The planet

Venus and Saturn.-The planet
Saturn figures in the most interesting
celestial event Of the month. Says an
authority: On the 30th, at MONDAY,
Saturn and Venus are ia conjunction,
the ringed wonder of the skies being at
that time two degrees fifteen minutes
south of the fairest of the stars. A pow
erful telescope will bring out the plan
cts at the time of conjunction, or at the
moment when they are in the same
right ascension, but observers with the
unaided eye will find a lovely picture
painted on the celestial canvas OH the
29th and 30th. On the former evening
Saturn will be east of Venus, and on the
latter evening he will be west of her.
The meeting and passing Of two large
planets is always noteworthy event.
The moon on the first day Of the quarter
will lend her silyery light to the scene,
and the two bright planets will hang
side by side in the western sky, coming
into view soon after sunset, and contin-
uing to adorn the armament until after
ten o'clock. 1t is as interesting to
watch the approach of the two planets
as it is to observe them when they are
at the nearest point, and this may be
done on every evening during the
month

members of Antietam Post, No. IA,
Grand Army of the Republic, Of Sharps-
burg, and its auxiliary committees are
making extensive preparations for the
Decoration Day ceremonies at Antietam
National Cemetery on Monday, May 30.
Invitations have been extended to
large number Of military organizations
bands of music, secret orders, Sunday
schools and various other associations
to unite in the observance OF the day
and to participate in the parade.
Among those that are confidently ex'
pected to be present are the Rohrers-
Vile, Keedysville, Williamsport, Ha-
gerstown and West Fairview, Pa,
bands, the Williamsport and Hagers-
town Light Infantry companies, Reno
and Lyon Posts, G. A. R., of Hagers-
town, and delegations from posts at
West Fairview and different points in
the Cumberland Valley. Representa-
tives will also attend from the Grand
Army Department of Illinois and Massa-
chnsetts. Gov. Beaver, of Pennsylva-
MIA, has promised to attend and Miss
Mary Shellman, the poetess, of West
minister, will recite poem appropriate
to the occasion. Corporal Tanner, Of
New York, has been invited and it is
thought will accept.
Gen. VIM. E. Mclean, Of Washing
ton, Gen. Felix Agnus, of Baltimore,
and Hon. H. W. Hoffman, of Cumber-
land, have been invited and accepte q
invitations to deliver addresses.
Instead of one long grafton, as has
been the custom on these occasions, the
managers have decided to have num-
Der of brief addresses, interspersed with
vocal and instrumental music. A local
choir is practicing selections suitable
for program of this description. EX-
cursions will he run at convenient hours
from Harrisburg and intermediate
points. The regular north-bound train
on the Shenandoah Valley railroad will
accommodate excursionists from points
south of the Potomac river.
One feature that will add to the at
traction of this Decoration Day at An
tietam is the proposed reunion and en-
cam pmeht of the Third Maryland Regi-
m ent. 1t is said this will begin on May
80 and continue three days.
May 30 is church us we'll as a legal
holiday, and from such reports as the
various committees have received, the
indications point to large concourse of
people and one of the most Interesting
occasions of the kind ever held at Antle-
tam.-Hagerstoaon Herald.

work on the iron now. Superintend-
ent Fraim expects to have completed
iron span by Sunday evening, providing
no unforeseen event occurs to delay 1t.
Work will have to be continued on Sum
days as well as week days now, as at
this stage of the proceedings no delay
that can be avoided will be incurred.
The bridge will evidently be very SUD-

weigh as much as three tons. The work
is moving along very well, so far.

The Effect. of Mental Exhaustion.

Many diseases, especially those of the ner-
vous system, are the products OF daily renew
ed mental exhaustion. Business ayocations
often involve an amount of mental wear and
the professions, If arduously pursued, are no
less destructive to brain and nerve tissue. IL
is one OF the most important attributes OF
safes for this undue loss OF tissue, and that IL
imparts new energy to the brain and nerves.
The rapidity with which IL renews weakened
mental energy and physical vitality is re-
markable, and shows that its invigorating
properties are of the highest order. Besides
increasing vital stamina, and counteracting
the effects ofmental exhaustion. this potential
medicine cures and prevents fever and ague,
rheumatism, chronic dyspepsia and constipa-
ton, kidney and uterine weakness and other
complaints. Physicians also commend IL as a
indicated stimulant and remedy.

Want 10 Extend the Canal

w eAsS
1t is understood that at an early day the
officials and friends of the Chesapeake &
Ohio Canal will make a united and earn
est effort to induce Congress to grant
the necessary aid for the extension Of
that great waterway. as originally in
tended. to Westernport, twenty-seven
or eight miles from Cumberland, and
the centre of the great coal fields of the
.Alleghanies. The consummation of this
project would, it is believed, result in
tie success or salvation of the canal for
at least many years to come. 1t is
claimed that with terminus at West
ernport, where the great fourteen-foot
vein of coal crops out, and is so situated
that coal could be run from the veins
into canal boat or railroad car SHOULD
the latter mode of transportation be
found cheaper to construct than an open
canal or slack water eommunication),
the seat of the general government, and
other eastern cities, as well rs the navy
of the United States, could be supplied
with superior coal more cheaply than
from any other source.
